Preview: Stoke City vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Stoke City can relax slightly when they head into Sunday's clash against Tottenham Hotspur due to their position in the Premier League table, while Spurs will try to keep their Champions League dream alive.

The Potters were in danger of getting relegated from the top flight, but Wigan Athletic's 3-2 defeat to Swansea City has all but secured their status in the table.

For Spurs, they can still clinch a place in next season's Champions League campaign, but it's tight at the top, as they have to depend on Arsenal and Chelsea above them to drop points in order to sneak into the top four.

The North London outfit are currently one point behind rivals Arsenal, and three points behind Chelsea, who also have a Europa League final to focus on.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis could form an attacking trio of Jonathan Walters, Peter Crouch and Cameron Jerome, while Emmanuel Adebayor could keep his place up front for Spurs.
